Abstract

Flow Induced Crystallization (FIC) is the common term to indicate the acceleration in polymer crystallization kinetics due to the action of flow. FIC is expected to be the result of the coupling between the intrinsic (quiescent) crystallization kinetics and the rheological response of the polymer. The choice of a suitable rheological model, therefore, is a crucial requirement for a successful FIC model. Recent work of our group[1] has demonstrated that the Doi-Edwards rheological model (DE), based on the concept of chain reptation, can be easily ncorporated into classical crystallization models to successful predict the enhancement in nucleation rate under the action of a steady shear flow. In this paper, the interaction between the rheological parameters of the DE model and the crystallization kinetics parameters is investigated in more details. In particular, the effect of the crystallization temperature, which acts on both the polymer relaxation time and the free energy jump between liquid and solid phase, is determined and discussed
